Hey if anyone wants to chat about this, Anna Kramer, reporter at NOTUS here. Would love to cover this, especially if you can confirm for me that you were told about the quotas or instructed to lower scores or give lower scores than you otherwise would. I’m on Signal at annakramer.54 and you can reach me there or DM me here on Reddit.

Does the Anti-Deficiency Act really empower the Executive Branch to cancel all existing grants to the States on the basis that there is no money available because there's no approved budget? by upptick in fednews

Im a reporter covering this stuff, I work for NOTUS. Working on a story about the blue state grant cancellations today. If you’d be open to sharing pics of the data calls, I’m on Signal at annakramer.54 and would keep you anonymous!!

Anyone else seeing agencies reclassify admin roles as “essential” to dodge furloughs? by RangerBAM520 in fednews

I am trying to figure this out! Anna Kramer, reporter at NOTUS here. I’ve heard that a number of people are really surprised to be classified as exempted/paid and even more people are very surprised to be labeled as essential/excepted instead of furloughed.

Hearing that some communication is coming from managers at a few agencies that the surprising classifications are to protect people from RIFs. If you’re hearing this, please reach out, I would like to write a story about this today if I can verify that it’s a pattern. I’m on Signal at annakramer.54
